Liam Payne's Sister Defended One Direction From Zayn Malik's Comments

Somebody didn't like his Billboard interview.

Liam Payne’s sister Ruth took a break from her regular schedule of tweeting about her fave TV shows (Gossip Girl included) to address a few choice comments former 1D’er Zayn Malik made in Billboard magazine about unreturned texts and the fact that he didn’t buy their latest album, Made in the AM. (We still kind of think that AM” = After Malik, so we get it, Zayn.)

In the interview, Zayn mentioned that everything isn’t as rosy in 1D-land as we thought. He said that, “I had every intention of remaining friends with everybody, but I guess certain phone numbers have changed and I haven’t received calls from a lot of people. I’ve reached out to a few of them and not got a reply. Certain people have pride issues, but it’s stuff you overcome in time.”

Ruth thinks that’s a load of bollocks (is that what they say in the UK?) and took to Twitter to prove it. After all, she’s got to protect her brother and his bandmates, no matter what. It looks like she’s deleted the Tweet sent Zayn’s way on Jan. 7, saying “ur talent alone would get you through … not the news paper collumns …” [sic] but she followed that up with a few other tweets clarifying her point, which is that sometimes things get taken out of context and that she thinks all five of the boys are super-talented.

After the tweet storm, Ruth was bombarded with Directioners tweeting at her both pro-Zayn and anti-Zayn comments, so she decided to let it go and went back to tweeting about UK soaps. Someone tweeted asking if her bro and Zayn still talk, and she confirmed that they do, but we’re not so sure Zayn’s gonna be texting Liam with any hot gossip after this spill from his little sis.
